Profit
Is an Airbnb in Zone V Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Zone V Airbnb took in Rs 394,658 in the 12 months to May 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about Rs 58,200 a month after running costs.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Zone V's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Zone V listings are booked on 25% or more of their nights, against 13% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 8,010 adds about Rs 80,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 12,500 a night or more, against a median of Rs 8,010. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about Rs 39,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about Rs 159,000, against Rs 15,100 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Zone V listings average 4.87 stars, and 25% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about Rs 74,800 a month, against Rs 32,900 for the average one.
